Smog\nchambers with in situ FTIR detection were used to measure rate coefficients\nin 700 Torr of air and 296 ± 2 K of: <i>k</i>(Cl+(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCH<sub>3</sub>) = (5.41 ± 1.63) ×\n10<sup>–12</sup>, <i>k</i>(Cl+(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCHO) = (9.44 ± 1.81) × 10<sup>–15</sup>, <i>k</i>(Cl+CF<sub>3</sub>C(O)OCH<sub>3</sub>) = (6.28\n± 0.98) × 10<sup>–14</sup>, <i>k</i>(OH+(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCH<sub>3</sub>) = (1.86 ± 0.41) ×\n10<sup>–13</sup>, and <i>k</i>(OH+(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCHO) = (2.08 ± 0.63) × 10<sup>–14</sup> cm<sup>3</sup> molecule<sup>–1</sup> s<sup>–1</sup>. The Cl atom initiated oxidation of (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCH<sub>3</sub> gives (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCHO in a yield\nindistinguishable from 100%. The OH radical initiated oxidation of\n(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCH<sub>3</sub> gives the following\nproducts (molar yields): (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCHO (76 ±\n8)%, CF<sub>3</sub>C(O)OCH<sub>3</sub> (16 ± 2)%, CF<sub>3</sub>C(O)CF<sub>3</sub> (4 ± 1)%, and C(O)F<sub>2</sub> (45 ±\n5)%. The primary oxidation product (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCHO\nreacts with Cl atoms to give secondary products (molar yields): CF<sub>3</sub>C(O)CF<sub>3</sub> (67 ± 7)%, CF<sub>3</sub>C(O)OCHO\n(28 ± 3)%, and C(O)F<sub>2</sub> (118 ± 12)%. CF<sub>3</sub>C(O)OCH<sub>3</sub> reacts with Cl atoms to give: CF<sub>3</sub>C(O)OCHO\n(80 ± 8)% and C(O)F<sub>2</sub> (6 ± 1)%. Atmospheric lifetimes\nof (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCH<sub>3</sub>, (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCHO, and CF<sub>3</sub>C(O)OCH<sub>3</sub> were estimated\nto be 62 days, 1.5 years, and 220 days, respectively. The 100-year\nglobal warming potentials (GWPs) for (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCH<sub>3</sub>, (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCHO, and CF<sub>3</sub>C(O)OCH<sub>3</sub> are estimated to be 6, 121, and 46, respectively. A comprehensive\ndescription of the atmospheric fate of (CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHOCH<sub>3</sub> is presented.
